Rock and roll-a-bye, baby
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is set to become a great-grandfather early next year. His daughter Jade told London's Sunday Times her 21-year-old daughter, Assisi, expects to give birth in several months.
She told the newspaper she did not expect Jagger to slow down now that he's set to become a great-grandfather. The Stones plan to tour Australia next year.
Assisi told Hello! magazine Jagger was pleased when she gave him the news, responding, "Well done."
She said, "I imagine it's nice to be a great-granddad, although I'm not sure he likes the idea of getting old, or being called one. I call him Mick - I wouldn't start calling him Grandpa."
Best of the least
Dennis Rodman is at the top of a list no one wants to be on. He's been named GQ's least influential celebrity of 2013.
The 52-year-old former basketball player who visited Kim Jong Un in North Korea was the top pick in the magazine's third annual list of least influential celebrities, which also includes twerking pop star Miley Cyrus, President Obama, and celebrity chef Paula Deen.
GQ called Rodman a "Q-list celebrity willing to commit borderline treason just to hang out with a dictator who himself aspires to be a Q-list celebrity."
Deen, whose cooking empire imploded this year after she admitted using the N-word to describe black employees, came in at No. 2; sexting ex-U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner was No. 3.
Cyrus, who garnered attention at this year's MTV Video Music Awards for her provocative performance with a foam finger, won the No. 6 position for "basically trying every inane strategy she could think of to rile up America's few remaining pearl clutchers." The magazine noted, "What's sad is that it totally worked."
A flaming success
The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, opened with $161.1 million at the box office, narrowly besting the original film and setting a record for a November opening.
The result failed to dethrone the year's biggest box-office opening of $174 million for Iron Man 3. But it did best the previous top November opening of $142.9 million for Twilight Saga: New Moon.
But the bigger budget and better-reviewed Catching Fire is doing better abroad than the 2012 original, opening with $146.6 million internationally.
